Description Will Thompson 2010-08-21 03:19:28 UTC 
Gabble's presence cache has a concept of being "unsure" about presences: it waits a few seconds after we connect for other folks' presences to trickle in before declaring that those it hasn't heard about are offline.

Or at least, that's the theory. Actually, the timer starts as soon as RequestConnection() is called, so if you're on a slow connection, the period can end before we're even connected.
